Useful facts from a handyman -
The more things a glue says it will stick, the worse it is at all of them generally
Superglue is the best thing you can buy for sticking rubber to rubber, but only if you don't flex the bond. It's pretty much the worst thing for everything else because it's too brittle or melts the surface
I don't keep it at all. The glues you need are -
Epoxy resin - two part adhesive for anything solid. Particularly good for hard plastic as it turns into a very hard plastic itself after mixing. There are variations for metal etc
Impact adhesive - for anything flexible. Basically spread two sheets of liquid rubber on two surfaces, let it dry then push them together. Sticks like shit to a blanket
Wood glue - on softwoods, a glue joint will be stronger than the wood itself. It might look and smell like school glue but it's amazing at one job
Shoe Goo - special shout out to this fucker. Exactly what it says, and brilliant at hundreds of other things too
There are loads more for building etc, but if you have those 4 and know how to use them, they'll work far better than any superglue.
PS, Gorilla glue is absolutely crap
Superglue is ideal for small cuts on your skin where a band aid wouldn't be practical.
That was its original purpose, yes.
